After attending church in Salzburg, we spent Easter Sunday roaming this charming town. We DID NOT do the Sound of Music tour. I am a huge fan but I did that tour when I visited 14 years ago and Rob preferred to see other things -- like Mozart's birthplace etc. Nevertheless, we borrowed a copy of the Sound of Music and watched it with the kids at night.
Here I am re-enacting a Sound of Music scene. Don't I look like Maria in my hat?
We stopped and ate lunch in one of the main squares. I ordered a Sacher tort -- a famous Viennese cake that isn't as tasty as it is famous. The girls had the most fun running around the Mozart statue.
It even feels like Maria's town when you see the horse-drawn carriages. "So-Do-La-Fa. . ."
"Let's start at the very beginning. . ."
We took the funicular up to Hohensalzburg Fortress -- an impressive castle overlooking the town and the site of the Salzburg Music Festival. (You know, where the Von Trapp family performs just before they escape.) It gave us a fantastic panorama of the city.

Here I am, with Anna, Mariah and Tyler, climbing up the steps to the fortress.
The fortress is pretty imposing inside -- with lots of museums and places to explore.
Me and the kids again. I think Rob must have had the camera all day, because I can't find many of him. Unusual!
